The year 2017 marks Canada’s 150th anniversary since its founding. And
yet some six generations along since 1867\, millions of people in Canada
today suffer in poverty or experience relentless\, stressful economic inse
curity.

\n

We have asked our network members\, then:

\n

How might a Basic Income Guarantee affect your life\, your loved ones\
, or other people you know well?

\n

Over 400 people have
answered that question in 150 words and sent us their responses. We’ll co
llate the submissions and send them along to Prime Minister Trudeau and ke
y federal Cabinet members (Finance\, Health etc.) who are in position to i
ntroduce basic income security for all. We look forward to sharing with e
veryone what we learned from all of our supporters across the country!

\n

This is a virtual event. The 150 Words submissions will be se
nt to Prime Minister Trudeau in Ottawa\, Ontario at the beginning of basic
income week.

You find all events in German-speaking count
ries in the calendar.\nThere’s films\, conferences\, network meeting
s\, political discussions\, the famous “Bodenzeitung”\, radio shows and mo
re – check it out.

We will be taking basic income to the streets spre
ading the word through interviewing people around Newtown\, Johannesburg a
bout social protection and their socioeconomic rights and the concept of b
asic income.
